Usage: The term שְׁאָר is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament to denote what is left over or remains after a part has been removed or used. It often refers to a remnant of people or things. Context: The Aramaic word שְׁאָר (she'ar) appears in the context of the exilic and post-exilic periods, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra, where Aramaic is used alongside Hebrew. This term is significant in the theological concept of the "remnant," which is a recurring theme throughout the Bible.

The idea of a remnant underscores God's faithfulness and the hope of restoration and continuity of His promises.
